Michael Penn - I Can Tell Lyrics
Whatever news you hadWhatever shoes you hadWhatever made you mad enoughOn the promenade you canGive it a restGive it a seatOr in the glass you can cut your feetPop a kneeFlesh tornAnd everything else seemsA little worse for wornA simple thing, I admitOut I never did figure itI can tell that I'm about toI can tell when I'm without youI've seen you juggleI've seen your bestI've seen you running out of luck you pressedI've seen the scores on how far up you fessedUntil a thinner air is what you're breathing nowSo catch your breathDon't just stand there holding itI've seen you die a little deathI'm pretty sure you were hereBut lately things tend to disappearLike the days I never got around toI can tell when I'm without youPsychic on the corner'Palms and Runes, Tarot and Tea'The proprietor gives matches to the girls in lineFor Club DiplomacyBe he's not on to meCrossed Olympic to collect my feeBut there's no one in this neighborhood whoI can tell when I'm without youI can tell when I'm without youI can tell when I'm without you
